Marcel did a 15 minute lightning talk about Dynamic Deployment with Apache Felix at FOSDEM '09 in Brussels.

Attempt to integrate PAX Logging into Felix has apparently been abandoned due to lack of time by those involved.

Preparing to release version 1.6.0 of Felix.

Released version 1.4.1 of Felix (includes Framework 1.4.1 and Main 1.4.1); there were several small fixes and improvements in this release, but the main focus was to release patches needed by the CXF community to support distributed services.

Checked in a testing harness for both bundles and the framework itself based on bnd (from Peter Kriens).

Added ConfigAdmin support and support for NIO for HTTPS to the HTTP Service implementation.

Committed Device Access specification implementation, which was contributed by Dennis Geurts.

None.
